Here, finally, are the best of the photos I took whilst in New Zealand from 23rd January to 11th March 2000. The first month was the work bit - and I was based in Christchurch on the South Island. Then followed 2 and a half weeks travelling around with Claire - we set off from Auckland in the north and left out of Christchurch in the south.
